‘How are you allowed to keep animals?’ rage Katie Price fans as she cuddles puppy after eight pets die in her care
KATIE Price infuriated fans after posing with an adorable puppy after eight of her pets died.
Her followers demanded to know how she was allowed to keep animals and one fan even threatened to call the RSPCA.
There is an ongoing petition to stop Katie from owning any more pets after Princess’s puppy was crushed by an electric chair in 2020.
In a new video, she cuddled up to Buddy the Chihuahua, kissing it gently on the head.
Katie had four Chihuahuas but in October last year she sold two of them for £2k each.
The advert for Captain, who Katie bought in May 2022, read: “Very handsome black chihuahua entire male, loves attention can be timid in new scenarios, good with children and other dogs.”
And the dogs were snapped up straight away – and are now both marked as ‘rehomed’ on the site.
A source said: “Katie’s kids will be so upset when they realise their pets are gone, but at this point Katie has too many dogs. She loves getting them when they’re puppies but goes off them when they grow up.”
Katie’s rep had no comment when approached by The Sun.
While some cooed over the pooch in her video, many accused her of not being a good pet owner.
“Why are you even allowed to keep any more animals how long before this one gets given away because it’s not cute enough for instagram or it dies like most of the animals you have had in your care,” one asked.
“Every animal she has ever owned has died the most horrific of deaths or she’s just given them away like they mean nothing,” said a second.
“How are you still allowed to keep animals,” asked a third.
But not everyone was out for blood, one wrote: “Aww katie you are so lovely . Anyone who has love for animals has a soft and pure heart . You are so misunderstood.”
“Icon,” a second chimed, while a third added: “So beautiful”.
Princess’s puppy Rollo was killed after she gave it too much CBD oil and it fell asleep under a reclining chair.
According to the Mirror, Katie told how was packing for a holiday when someone started shouting for her to come down.
She was told: “The dog, it’s dead….”
Katie wrote: “The breeder we had bought the dog from had given us CBD oil to give this dog and I don’t know if Princess had given it too much or what, but we knew it would sleep alot, and that day it had gone under the reclining chair to sleep and no-one had realised and it had been crushed.
“We took it to the vets when it died and paid for an autopsy because we wanted to understand what happened and they said breeders should never have given us CBD to use.
“Of course, all that is reported is that I had killed Princess’ dog because I had a big party and wasn’t taking care of it.”
Katie got a guard dog in response to an acid attack on her car called Blade, but the German Shepherd was tragically hit by a car.
It was hit by a vehicle on the A24, which was close to Katie’s East Sussex home.
